A rapid setup of a true triathlon village in the morning allowed the FitDays Nice to open their doors to children aged 5 to 12 who were eager to discover triathlon while learning about prevention and health.
In total, nearly 500 children (480 to be exact) spent their afternoon on the Promenade des Anglais for a day like no other, with a program featuring a triathlon consisting of 20 meters swimming in the sea, followed by 1 km of mountain biking and 250 meters of running. They also visited the Prevention and Health village, where there were workshops on safety skills with the Nice Municipal Police, nutrition with the Health Department, road safety, and children’s rights.
Children from municipal leisure centers also joined the festivities, with nearly 200 children daring to face the sea, the bike, and the road before learning the technique of cardiac massage and the basic rules of good nutrition.
At the end of the day, 12 young boys and girls from Nice were drawn to represent Nice at the regional and national finals, which will take place in Sisteron and Castellane next July.
Sport and health, a winning duo in Nice!
